Chapter 178

Everyone’s attention shifted upward, waiting for Seth to speak. With just a

single sentence, he could resolve the situation.

Meanwhile, Seth stood on the second floor, calmly sipping his red wine,

seemingly unaffected by the tense atmosphere below. Descending two

steps, he positioned himself at the corner of the staircase.

Leaning on the handrail, he observed the spectacle below as if it were a

show. Eventually, his gaze landed on Isabella’s face.

Isabella’s heart raced. She had recently offended Seth, and he hadn’t

responded to the car incident. Moreover, their encounter from the previous

night had been far from pleasant. In this situation, falling into his hands would

undoubtedly lead to unfavorable consequences.

Seth seemed to have read Isabella’s thoughts. However, he remained silent,

deliberately testing the patience of those present while suppressing

Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed in Isabella’s direction.

“This lady here…” Seth spoke slowly, each word teasing Isabella’s nerves. Then,

he abruptly lowered his tone and commented, “You did try to harm her.”

The tension that had been gripping Isabella’s heart instantly snapped, and

she stared blankly at Seth. Her eyes were clear, devoid of anger, but rather

filled with an expectation of this outcome.

Seth’s brief words made him resemble a judge pronouncing a verdict.

Megan believed she had won and immediately stood up, disregarding her

“Did you hear that? Could Mr. Shaffer have falsely accused you?” Megan

pointed at Isabella with a disdainful expression. “You’re so malicious at such a

young age. Today, you’ve only caused Rachel a leg injury, but what if your

become even more ruthless in the future? Will you take someone’s life?”

Megan’s words caused a ripple in the room. Discussions criticizing Isabella’s

character once again filled the space.

Unfortunately, the people present had no connection to Seth’s social circle;

otherwise, someone would have recognized Isabella as Seth’s former

executive secretary.

“Why aren’t you speaking up? Weren’t you all tough just a moment ago? I’ve

encountered many young ladies like you!” Megan sighed, adopting a tone of

deep concern before turning to Gordon. “Gordon, how could you bring any

random woman home and introduce her to your grandmother?”

Gordon stood in front of Isabella, his tone firm as he declared, “Stop talking

nonsense. Are Seth Shaffer’s words law?”

While confronting Megan, he also took the opportunity to question Seth,

clearly intending to defend Isabella until the end.

Isabella stood behind Gordon, unwaveringly gazing at Seth’s face, silently

questioning him. Are you satisfied seeing me humiliated?

Seth likely understood the meaning behind her gaze and glanced at Gordon,

who was protecting her like a mother hen. Then, he pursed his lips and wore

a disdainful expression. “Mrs. Logan, shouldn’t you at least let me finish

speaking?”

The man’s cold and icy voice inadvertently shattered the room’s atmosphere,

plunging it into silence.

Meanwhile, Megan, who had maintained a fierce demeanor, froze at Seth’s

words. Her expression immediately twisted. “Mr. Shaffer, what do you mean

by that?”

Seth rested both hands on the railing, slightly bending one leg, appearing

relaxed. Though his gaze remained fixed on Isabella, his words were directed

at Mrs. Logan. “Although that woman tried to harm your daughter, your

daughter did provoke her.”

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Megan was shocked. “What…”

Rachel also seemed frightened, her previously pitiful expression now

replaced with fear as she anticipated what might unfold next.

Seth locked eyes with Isabella, and his lips curled slightly. “Miss Logan kicked

the other woman first, so shouldn’t the victim be allowed to defend herself?”

His tone remained calm, but his final question dripped with sarcasm, causing

everyone to shift their attention to Rachel and imagine the events that had

transpired.

Isabella stood below, swallowing nervously as she unconsciously lowered her

head.

With just a few words, Seth effortlessly changed her situation, but she didn’t

feel the slightest bit of happiness.
